The Virtues of Millennial Nostalgia

September 18, 2020September 17, 2020Leave a comment

Nostalgia is ingrained in the millennial identity. But while this has become an object of mockery, it can actually be a useful coping mechanism in these troubled times. One day, when doom-scrolling through Twitter, I happened across the most unexpected inter-generational debate I’ve ever read. A spate of millennial roasting by Gen Z-ers on TikTok … Continue reading The Virtues of Millennial Nostalgia

Escape from New York

May 7, 2020August 13, 20201 Comment

It was 4:45 p.m. New York time, 7:45 a.m. Melbourne time, when my parents called and said, with an unmistakable tone of disappointment, ‘We think you should come home.’

On Being an Accidental Flexitarian

April 13, 2020April 13, 2020Leave a comment

When I moved out of college at the end of last year, in favour of adulting in my first share house, I didn't get around to buying any meat for approximately two-and-a-half weeks.  It's not that I don't like meat. In fact, when it's cooked well – think kebabs, slowly marinated and cooked over hot … Continue reading On Being an Accidental Flexitarian

Reluctant Millennials and the Generation Wars

October 25, 2019Leave a comment

‘You’re a millennial too, you know.’ When I was complaining, as many do, about the millennial generation and their flagrant use of technology, their vapid taste in music and general outlook on life, my sister – who is eight years older than me – informed me that I, too, was a millennial. Believing that my … Continue reading Reluctant Millennials and the Generation Wars

Corpse Pose: Finding my Zen at the Yoga Studio

October 21, 2019October 21, 2019Leave a comment

This year we discovered that the Millennial generation is actually a lot larger than we originally thought - with the oldest now in their late 30s. This has brought a rush of new contributions, including this piece from an older Millennial dad who had a lesson in mindfulness after getting too competitive in his first … Continue reading Corpse Pose: Finding my Zen at the Yoga Studio

A Life of Drought

October 14, 2019October 14, 2019Leave a comment

‘This is the last year.’ My Pa says the same thing every year, pulling on his cracked old work boots and getting ready for another day running his small farm on the outskirts of Dubbo, NSW. Even at 80 years old, he hasn’t given up the family tradition of being a fruit farmer, not even … Continue reading A Life of Drought

Renting

September 21, 2019September 23, 2019Leave a comment

Moving back to Melbourne, Avery didn't know how hard it would be to find a home ...  The first house is on the edge of Thornbury and Northcote. The driveway pulls out onto a busy road. I know where the house is, when I first move in, because there’s a graffitied mattress across the street. … Continue reading Renting

Book Babies and Actual Babies

September 13, 2019Leave a comment

When a post popped up in my inbox from Grattan Street Press about The M Project, I was delighted to read that, according to GSP’s definition, I am a millennial! Just. I was delighted because this fact made me feel young. Since returning to study, I feel exactly three hundred years older than most other … Continue reading Book Babies and Actual Babies

"Ever since I entered university, the recurring joke of my life has been that there is no way I’ll ever get a job. I’m an arts kid, so that means that instead of choosing between the thousands of job prospects that are readily available to my friends in commerce degrees, the jobs I’ll choose between are the one at McDonald’s and the one at Hungry Jacks." Andrea Septién Uribe breaks down the assumption that Arts students are unemployable, giving hope to those who may be feeling discouraged to follow their passions. Read at the link in bio.
"This is my writer’s origin story; how I went from burning through six story ideas in five months, to writing 85,000 words in just four. In this article, I share with you a variety of screen-writing resources from some well-known screenwriters, which have helped me immensely in my novel writing journey." Taylor Doyle dives into how she has taken the teachings of screen-writers and applied them to her own writing journey, and how you can do the same. At the link in bio.
"They say it takes a village to raise a kid. Well, a dog isn’t any different." Read Xuan Wei Yap's blog on what it means to adopt a pet during a pandemic, taking us through the highs and lows of dog parenting. At the link in bio.
Thank you once again to everyone who came along to the Grattan Street Pitch and got involved last week.
